The last time I saw one of these drives for sale on Amazon.de, I scrolled down to the review section and the review photos section was full of photos of oil paintings.
I'm in sort of a need for a microSD card and Amazon.de has some viable brand-name options, but I'm still hesitant to buy any from there since it's so hard to know what on Amazon is real and what isn't.
- FPGAhacker 4y agoIf something is small and high volume then it’s a fraud risk. I haven’t done the math but I do nearly all of my shopping on Amazon. I do this because I know I won’t have any problems with returns or refunds with Amazon. I tend to avoid the random all caps six letter companies when I can though. I also don’t pay much attention to positive reviews. I’m interested in the people that had bad experiences. So I go to the 1 and 2 star reviews and see if anything looks like a problem I would care about.

- pocketarc 4y agoThe best thing to do is buy a brand-name option for electronics, as you mentioned. Don’t try to cheap out, and you won’t get burned. microSD? Just buy Sandisk or some other brand with “dispatches from Amazon, sold by Amazon”, and save yourself wasting time worrying about reviews and fake products.
